I live in a major urban area. The nearest Blockbuster which could use this membership is 7 miles away. So in store exchange is kinda a joke now.

That said, they are reasonably good about cancelling memberships - if you've got kids home for the summer, jump on this to feed their game machines. Make a weekly trip to swap out games, and you'll likely never see your kids otherwise for the entire summer!

@tsfisch: I know the feeling. All the stores in our area are gone. We had a Blockbuster Express kiosk at a nearby grocery store, but the store that had it put up a sign saying they were getting rid of it. Nobody wants Blockbuster it seems.

I used the Blockbuster service for years and it was great. In its prime, Blockbuster was much better than Netflix. But Blockbuster is past its prime and this service is now dreadful. I would have continued to subscribe just for the convenience if they could have simply maintained mediocre service. It seemed like every other month BB removed a perk and now I'm subscription free. RIP Blockbuster.

I remember checking this service out online a few months ago to see how their selection compared to Netflix. I was surprised by just how many movies they had...that I had NEVER heard of. It's like they signed a deal to own ALL the direct to dvd movies that never should have existed.

I cancelled my Netflix account awhile ago and tried Blockbuster Online. Im really happy with the service and have had it for a couple years now. I am on the 3 disk package. Blu-Rays are not an additional cost like the other guys. Blockbuster selection is far bigger than Netflix, just look up a animated Disney movie on Netflix and you will see what I am talking about. And renting Video games is a nice option. Trade in at stores is really nice. But you can only trade one time per mailed disk, oh and it REQUIRES you to have the mail in envelope to trade in store.

I don't know why people rag on Blockbuster. Yea they a few bad years but they got bought out by Dish Network.

I feel like Blockbuster has always been out to screw their customers, with one ridiculous fee after another, that was their whole business model. This is why it was so easy for Netflix to obliterate them, and for Redbox put the last nail in their coffin. They have not had a fresh idea since the 80's and copied the services offered by Netflix and Redbox to hope and stay alive. I say "no thanks".

There are a few movies I dont mind skipping the wait time for ... So I signed up ... what a cluggy website ... Holy crap most titles dont even have a summary of what they are about unless you click on it

I must also be one of the few people who gets to enjoy having an actual Blockbuster store in town (one mile away from my house). I go there several times a week and really enjoy interacting with actual people and discussing films. The employees seem to like their jobs and are friendly (they know me by name and ask my opinion on movies I'm returning.

Do NOT go with blockbuster for games. I made the mistake of trying it out a couple months ago only to find out that they have a self-imposed 100 day wait before new games are available. That means that by the time blockbuster has a game available for rent it is already 3 months old. In the gaming world that is ancient. If you sell a game that is 3 months old you will be lucky to get $10 for it.
When I called customer service to find out why they said it was so that they could 'build up supply'. They don't do this with movies and furthermore gamefly seems to have no problem with supply.

I had the subscription for literally less than 15 minutes. I didn't even want the free trial because I wouldn't be able to get anything but old games.

I have the in-store exchange unlimited plan with them, there was one walking distance from my house, but then I moved and then it closed, now the one I go to is about 3 miles away. They are all very nice and helpful there and I can bring in as many mail envelopes as I get and get a new release, which by the way netflix and redbox do not have. But, yes, this is always the deal making it not a deal.

@tomrdcinc: Blockbuster total access and Blockbuster stores ARE the same company. You are perhaps thinking of the Blockbuster Express kiosks, which are NOT part of the same company -- they licensed off the use of the "Blockbuster" brand name to a third party for those.

@tsfisch: Ok, I am one of the few who upvoted for this..lol My logic is the following, even if it is a standard promotion being offered by Blockbuster, I didn't know about it and so don't mind finding it on WOOT.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
